Welcome to extremenomads.life – a blog for adrenaline junkies, outdoor adventurers, travel lovers and mad monkeys with a thing for good vibes.

We cover all things extreme sports and travel; as well as more traditional activities like hiking, diving, or cycling. You can explore our content either by destination in our travel category, or by activity in our sports category.

We specialize in destination guides covering specific activities in interesting regions, for example these guides to the best wake parks in Asia, the best kitesurfing spots in Sri Lanka, or the best hikes in Ireland, but we also zero in on all the outdoor activities available in a specific spot, like our monster guides to Hua Hin in Thailand, Phan Rang in Vietnam, or Siargao in Philippines.

To reach a specific country or sport directly, use our top menu by hovering over (desktop), or clicking on (mobile) each section.

Finally, we also love reviewing and testing products / services in both sports and tech that we think our readers will be stoked with, and you’ll find this content in the reviews category. Our most popular articles there so far are definitely a complete test of the latest GoPro Hero 7 Black, what we think are the best watersports sunglasses on the market, and this massive overview of the best surf camps in Bali.

We hope you enjoy our content; and if you’re interested in what’s happening behind the scenes, you can follow us either on Facebook, any of our social accounts below, or subscribe to our newsletter by filling in the form at the bottom of this page (or when exiting the site).

There’s no better antidote to the overcrowded lineups of Kuta and hectic streets of Canggu than Medewi. Just 2 and a half hours ride up the coast, the town is all mellow vibes, stunning scenery, and surf. Damn good surf. - On the back of a recommendation from a local friend, we road tripped up to Medewi from Canggu during our action-fuelled 10 days in Bali. While there, we scored the best waves we’d found on the island all week and levelled up our surfing skills in a big way. - We left enamoured with the place. - Don’t let the required drive along the (rather ominously nicknamed) Highway of Death deter you; the sweltering road laden with lorries belies a palm-fringed beach, peaceful village, and a long left-hand wave that’d give any goofy goosebumps. - We thoroughly enjoyed our time surfing in Medewi, and we think you will too. - Find out all you need to know about making a surf trip to Medewi on our blog (link in bio). - - - #extremenomads - - - - - - #baligasm #bestinbali #medewi #medewibeach #surftrips #surfreport #surfexploration #wavehunting #waveseeker #surfblog #surfblogger #goofysurfvibes #surfspot #surfspotting #balivacation #balidaily #balisurf #visitbali #balivibes #balilivin #womenwhowander #outdoorexplorer #exploretheoutdoors #balibeachlife #outdooradventurephotos #adventureisoutthere #bestsurfspots #adventuretraveler
 Do you know how Jim and I met? We were put working together on the 2017 @kta_events kiteboarding comp in Thailand — Jim behind the camera and me in front of it 🎥👱🏽‍♂️ 🎤💁🏻‍♀️ The funny thing is that we had both individually been working for the KTA for years before we ever met each other! The rest, as they say, is a mess of wine soaked history. - But there’s a bigger point that’s worth making here. - Yeah, we’ve got a magical fuckin’ story about how we met. Yep, we live a pretty remarkable life together travelling + exploring the world. And now we’ve also got cute pictures lookin like an Instagram power couple (-ish) 🤡🤓 but 2.5 years into our relationship, and we’re learning that it ain’t always roses. Life rarely is — and it’s never what it appears to be on this distorted little app. - Relationships can be hard. Life can be hard. Working with the person you live with AND share a bed with? Also hard. - It needs to be met with hard work. And communication. And understanding that you won’t always agree on things — and that you don’t have to. That as long as you’re willing to understand each other’s point of view, and validate the other’s feelings, and trust each other that shit’s gonna work out and the good times are gonna keep on rolling. - At 2.5 years, this is the longest relationship either one of us has been in so essentially this is the blind leading the blind. Here’s to doing the best we can with no fucking road map whatsoever, and to neither one of us having buried the other one in the back garden (yet). 🧡 - - - #extremenomads - - - - - - - #adventurebloggers #igers_ireland #facadelovers #travelbloggers #travelbloggercouple #travelcouples #adventureisoutthere #thingsthatmakeyougohmmm #adventureseekers #realireland #perfect_europe #travelgram #travellingthroughtheworld #travellingcouple #couplestravelgoals #shewandersdaily #dailywanderings #exploreobserveshare #couplesofinsta #couplesofig #instatravels #instatravelgram #couplesofinstagram
 Blue sky, whut dat? 🤷🏻‍♀️ . . Pelting rain + freezing cold here. Dreaming of the tropics. Where in the world are you guys?? Comment with emojis and we’ll guess. .

 Oh Achill, you so perdy ✨🌅🧡 . . Soz for the not-so-Insta-friendly landscape orientation, but gahd damn we just wanted to show ya those tangerine skies. . . We’ve included Achill Island’s top adventure activity in our latest blog post — which is a bucket list of Ireland’s most epic outdoor adventures (see our story!). Without cheating, can you guess what made the list?? . . . . . #extremenomads . . . . . . #rawireland #realireland #irelanddaily #irelandpassion #discoverireland #failteireland #irelandoutdoors #nextstopnature #greettheoutdoors #igersireland #thefullirish_ #raw_ireland #adventureenthusiasts #wanderireland #ig_ireland_ #ireland_gram #earthoutdoors10k #perfect_europe #traveldreamseekers #wearepangaea #exploreoutdoors #widenyourworld #achillisland #achill #sunset_ig #sunsetseekers #naturepics #pictureoftheday #ireland
 Daily dose of dawg 🐕 . We had an AWESOME time away in Achill, but coming home is that much sweeter when we know the floofs are waiting for us (btw we have a total of THREE floofs at home right now — Blacky and Borscht, the babes from Thailand, and our most recent foster Miss Puskins, a cantankerous 8 year old cat). . Maybe it’s also a little to do with how we inherently like to travel — ie. S.L.O.W.L.Y. ✨ Jim and i have both always preferred to stay in places longer; 6 months to a year at a time, so that we can really get to know it properly. Plus fast travel is EXHAUSTING. . We’re on the hunt for our next location (once our stint in Ireland is up), most likely winter 2020. We have a few contenders, but we’d also love to hear your suggestions! Our ideal next spot will be: 🚐in Europe ☀️warm 🌊near some good waves 💨have some wind 💰 low cost of living 🌈added bonuses if the food, wine, language, and culture is awesome! . Where would you suggest?? . . . . . . . #extremenomads . . . . . . #wildatlanticwaycork #westcork #westcorkexplorer #rawireland #realireland #irelanddaily #irelandpassion #discoverireland #failteireland #irelandoutdoors #nextstopnature #greettheoutdoors #igersireland #thefullirish_ #raw_ireland #adventureenthusiasts #wanderireland #ig_cork #ireland_gram #suplife #standuppaddle #dogsonsups #standupjournal #standuppaddleboarding #standuppaddling #standuppaddlingwithdogs #adventuredognation #sup
